The Constitution is the framework for the governance of th.docxcherry686017
The Constitution is the framework for the governance of the United States. This is a Federal democratic republic - lawmaking by elected representatives, power and sovereignty divided between local and national institutions. The principle elements are a legislature composed of two houses, one directly elected by the people with high frequency, the other selected by the States with low frequency, a limited executive with all the figurehead jobs of a king but few of the actual powers of one, and an independent judiciary appointed for life on good behavior. Rights are explicitly and implicitly protected, but implicit government power is specifically denied. It is a union of States, the legislative structure designed on State lines, Presidential election based on State votes, powers not assigned to the union reserved to the States. The true sovereign is the People, because States are mandated to be republics too.
Our Constitution protects the rights of the individual. From the right to freedom of expression, to the right to bear arms, to the right to due process of law, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights place what is essentially a list of "Thou Shalt Not" placed on the federal government.
And if you look around you at a lot of controversial incidents, you'll see that a lot of people in the government intend to take that right away from us in order to gain power. Our founding fathers were geniuses to come up with this document, knowing full well that there would be power-hungry tyrants trying to do otherwise for the country.
The Constitution gives liberty, and not security. It lets you live freely, but leaves you to take responsibility for your own life. And it gives you the right to pursue happiness, and doesn't allow the government determines who gets to be happy and who doesn't. Those are some of the most common misconceptions about what America is supposed to stand for.
Public policy is an attempt by a government to address a public issue by instituting laws, regulations, decisions, or actions pertinent to the problem at hand. Numerous issues can be addressed by public policy including crime, education, foreign policy, health, and social welfare. While public policies are most common in the United States, several other countries, such as those in the United Kingdom, implement them as well. The process to create a new public policy typically follows three steps: agenda-setting, option-formulation, and implementation; the time-line for a new policy to be put in place can range from weeks to several years, depending on the situation. Public policies can also be made by leaders of religious and cultural institutions for the benefit of the congregation and participants, and the term can also refer to a type of academic study that covers topics such as sociology, economics, and policy analysis.
Citizens of the United States, it is clear, have a great many rights that give them freedoms all peoples hold dear: the freedom to think what they l ...
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
MATATAG CURRICULUM: ASSESSING THE READINESS OF ELEM. PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS I...NelTorrente

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
A workshop hosted by the South African Journal of Science aimed at postgraduate students and early career researchers with little or no experience in writing and publishing journal articles.
2. #1
American democracy has Greek (direct democracy),
Roman (Republic) and English (limited govt.,
individual rights, rule of law) influences. However, we
are a representative democracy which is a govt. in
which voters hold power and elected representatives
(responsible to the people), exercise that power.
3. #2
By creating 3 branches of govt., the founding fathers
built a "check and balance" system into the
Constitution. This system was built so that no one
branch of our govt. could become too powerful
(power corrupts; we did not want another absolute
monarch/king).
4. #3
John Locke promoted life, liberty, and property. He
influenced American democracy because we are a
nation that focuses on natural rights and the govt.
has an obligation to protect those rights. Also, we
hold his belief that power comes from the people.
5. #4
The Establishment Clause prohibits the govt. from
creating an official or established church (separation
of church/state). The Free Exercise Clause prohibits
the govt. from interfering with the practices of any
religion except in the 'compelling interest' of the
greater society (for example, human sacrifice as part
of your religion).
6. #5
The Bill of Rights is the first 10 Amendments of the
Constitution. It was prioritized by the Anti-
Federalists during ratification, so that our individual
freedoms/rights would be safeguarded/protected
in writing.
7. #11
For the most part, speech is protected under 1st
Amendment. However, freedom of speech can be
limited when dealing with: clear and present danger,
fighting words, libel/slander (defamatory speech),
obscenity.
8. #12
You may not be tried twice for the same crime
(double jeopardy); you don’t have to testify
against yourself (self-incrimination); you have right
to a speedy trial, lawyer, and an impartial jury.
9. #13
5th Amendment protects people from being
held for a crime unless they are properly
indicted (accused); cannot be tried twice for
same crime (double jeopardy), plead the 5th =
don’t have to testify against yourself
10. #15
By participating in the democratic process
(voting), electing quality representatives, and
becoming educated about major issues in society
(becoming informed).
11. #21
The President has the power of the veto, which
means he can stop legislation from becoming law.
The president's veto power is an example of
separation of power and "checks and balances" of
the United States government.
12. #23
Congress writes/votes on a law and the president signs
it, making it official. But if someone feels the law is
unconstitutional, they can bring a suit against it to the
Supreme Court. The Supreme Court may decide the
law violates the constitution, and 'reverse' it (i.e. cancel
it). That's called Judicial Review.
13. #24
Formal amendments are proposed by congress with a
2/3 vote in both houses. They are ratified (made
official), by a 3/4 approval of the states. Example of
federalism (states working w/ federal govt.)
“2/3 of both houses, 3/4 of all states”
14. #25
Congress can collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises,
to pay the Debts and provide for the common defense
and general Welfare of the United States.
Collect $, to spend $
Can also borrow $ and coin $
15. #31
Our 2 senators in California are: Diane Feinstein &
Barbara Boxer. They represent our state on a federal
level.
16. #32
House (many based on population): Must be at least 25
yrs. old; US citizen for at least 7 yrs.; live in the state you
represent. (Term length: 2 yrs.)
Senate (each state gets 2): Must be at least 30 yrs. old;
US citizen for at least 9 yrs.; and live in state you
represent. (Term length: 6 yrs.)
17. #33
1. House and Senate introduce bill
2. Committees approve, rewrite, or kill a bill
3. Each house debates and votes on their version of the bill
4. Both houses agree to create one version of the bill
5. Both houses vote separately on final version
6. Goes to President who can accept or reject (veto) it
7. If vetoed, congress can override it w/ 2/3 vote
8. Bill is passed, law is made!
18. #34
22nd Amendment = The President can only
serve for 2, four-year terms (8 years total)
19. #35
The Constitution states that Justices "shall hold
their Offices during good Behavior." This means
that the Justices hold office as long as they
choose and can only be removed from office
by impeachment.
For life, unless they do something bad
20. #47
Protest is linked to freedom of assembly.
includes the right to parade and
demonstrate in public. Protests must be
peaceful and mindful of the rights of others.
Picketing, boycotting and going on strike
must uphold peaceful intentions.
21. #48
People can volunteer their time to help out
candidates (fundraising $, telephone calling,
lobbying, distributing information/signs, etc.).
22. #50
Political parties bring people together to
achieve control of the govt., develop policies
favorable to their interests or the groups that
support them, and organize and persuade
voters to elect their candidates to office. They
align their members to express like-minded
political ideas (platforms).
23. #51
Political parties (1) select candidates, (2) mobilize
voters, (3) facilitate governance by setting
policies, and (4) monitor the opposing party when
it's in power
24. #52
A political party is a group of individuals with broad
common interests who organize to nominate
candidates for office, win elections, conduct
government, and determine public policy. The
basis of their formation originates with the rift
between Alexander Hamilton (federalist) and
Thomas Jefferson (anti-federalist) following George
Washington’s presidency.
25. #53
The purpose of a third party is to offset the
polarization between the two major parties in
American politics. 3rd parties rarely win, but they
introduce novel ideas that are generally unpopular
at the time they are presented. However, many
times, 3rd parties offset key votes geared toward
Democratic or Republican candidates.
